The question, "What is a Demo

of the party for several years. It is
now bet tied. Last week the entire
State Committee of the party was
called to meet in Raleigh to settle
thi.s all-important question. They re
solved that a Democrat is a man who
will shut his eyes, forget principle,

for every man nominated by the
party" from President down to
township constable, and they further

She la rery Intelligent, quick to

easily taught to take the same place
in the stable and. if required to
change, will in a few days readily

and pleasant to milk, not easily dis
turbed, and will as a role yield her
milk as readily to one milker as to
another, and does not seem disturbed
by any amount of noise in the stable.
As a dairy cow she is particularly
adapted to the production of milk for
the milkman and for table use, as her
medium size, rigorous appetite and
easy keeping qualities make her an
economical producer, while her eren,
uniform production makes her a reli
able supply, and the richness of her
milk in total solids places it above
suspicion from city milk Inspectors.
Her milk ia particularly adapted to
transportation, as it does not churn
or sour easily, and when poured back
and forth a few times will readily
mix the cream back into the milk,
which will not again readily separate,
giving it a uniform quality until the
last is sold or used. It has a good
body, is rich looking and never looks
blue. The milk Itself being easily
balanced with caseia and butter fat,
is a complete food, easily digested,
nutritious, and Is particularly adapted
to children and invalids. Stomachs
that are weak and unable to direct
other milk find no trouble with Ayr
shire cow's milk.
FOR USE IN MILKING COW
Invention of Florida Man Provides

The Scientific American in describ

appliance, Invented by Q. M. Lummia
of Fort Myers, Fla., says:
"This invention provides a vertical
partition interposed between the cow
and the milker, and constructs the
same with a large opening ever and in
which a flexible screen formed of rub
ber, skin or fabric, and having holes
for insertion of the cow's teats, is ap
plied so as to completely exclude for

In the corn plant about 40 per cent

atable and thecondltions for a maxi
mum milk flow are ideal. These con
ditions, however, do not last very
long.
The silo comes as near to supplying
the ideal conditions as anything that
can be found, and it is available every
day in the year. It provides a uniform
feed for every one of the twelve
months.
Highly sensitive dairy cows resent
any sudden or violent change in feed,
and will show it by a decreased milk
flow. The change from fall pasture
to dry feed is always followed by a
shrinkage in the milk.
In changing from the pasture to the
silage, the change is not so great, and
often the cows increase the flow of
milk when started on silage. Several
dairymen have recently made the
statement that the inoerased profits
paid for the silo the first year.
Cows that are on pasture should

An asbestos torch, attached to the

an effective way to destroy the nest

FEW MUSKMELON DISEASES
Leaf Blight Causes Large Dead Areas
In Leaves Fungus Attacks
Stems of AM Plants.
(By A. D. SELBT.)
Muskmelon leaf blight is a diseast
more or less peculiar to the musk
melon, although the fungus which
causes it has also been found upon
cucumber leaves.
The leaf blight causes rather large
dead areas In the leaves, which are
usually distinguished from those of
mildew by their larger size and the
tendency of the central portion to
break out. The prevention of musk
melon leaf blight is by no means an
easy matter, requiring of itself great
thoroughness and carefulness in the
application of the Bordeaux mixture
and also requiring that the downy
mildew shall be watched during the
same period. For this reason earlier jFor catalogue and other information,
